contents

STEP 1. Requirements


No title

Make sure that your MP3 device and the music files on your device meet the requirements listed below.  Read the requirements carefully.  If the device or audio files do not meet the requirements, you will not be able to play the audio files through your TV.

USB Device Requirements

The USB devices you use with Wiselink must comply with the requirements below:

  • The USB device must be a USB Mass Storage Class device (MSC).  MSC is a Mass Storage Class Bulk-Only Transport device.  Examples of MSC devices are Thumb Drives and Flash Card Readers.  Wiselink does not support USB HDD and HUB.
  • The file system you have on your USB device must be either FAT16 or FAT32.  Wiselink does not support NTFS.

Other Considerations

  • Some TVs only support USB devices that have only a 512 byte data block size.
  • Certain typesof USB Digital camera and audio devices may not be compatible with your TV.
  • Wiselink does not support MTP (Media Transfer Protocol).
  • An MSC device supports MP3 and JPEG files, while a PTP (Picture Transfer Protocol) device supports JPEG files only.  Some TVs do not support PTP devices.
  • Wiselink may not recognize USB devices that have their own driver CDs and require you to install these drivers.

Audio

The audio files you use with Wiselink must meet the following requirements:

  • The files must be in an MP3 format.  No wma files, flac files, ogg files, aac files, etc.
  • The file names must be in English, French, or Spanish.
  • The folder and file names must contain only alphanumeric characters.  Wiselink displays files with names that contain non-alphanumeric characters as "???".

Other Considerations

  • If a filename is too long, Wiselink displays the file name in the following format: "filename...+.mp3."
  • The number of music files on the USB device should not exeed 3000.  Wiselink may not display any file exceeding 3000 file limit in the Music List.
